  5. Enrollment rates • Enrollment rates: • Total 26.6 million • Primary 18.5 million • Secondary 5.8 million • Post-secondary 2.3 million

  6. How does literacy rate affect standard of living? • The literacy rate of an area, state, or country affects the standard of living by raising it. Because now there are more advanced jobs that require a higher literacy rate especially high-paying jobs. Countries should make sure that the jobs the governments are offering should be a mixture of both. By that way the country will have a balanced society which will participate in increasing the countries GDP.

  7. What did Mexico to improve the literacy rate ? Mexico is now working really hard to improve the literacy rates and have a balanced society. Government spending on education now amounts to 25 centavos of every peso spent by the government. This money is used to build new primary schools and technical schools. The money also helped to distribute free textbooks to 90% of the public schools in Mexico. Nine out of ten children between the ages of six and fourteen are enrolled in primary school, 770,000 more than were enrolled. These steady trends of improvement are a good sign that the educational future of children in Mexico is improving.
